WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump announced Wednesday he will seek a probe of alleged voter fraud in the US election.

Trump and the White House have failed to provide any evidence for the president's repeated claims that several million people voted illegally in the November poll that brought him to power.



White House says Trump stands by voter fraud belief, offers no evidence



"I will be asking for a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including those registered to vote in two states, those who are illegal and even those registered to vote who are dead (and many for a long time). Depending on the results we will strengthen up voting procedures!" Trump wrote on Twitter.
